Ollie30 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not the easiest thing i`ve ever built and i don`t think it`s perfect either, but i enjoyed the challenges involved and i believe i`ve got a pretty good result for my capabilities. Think i could do better if my eye`s worked and i could stop shaking lol 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I think we all have the problem of eyes not being up to the scale in this hobby. Nonetheless, that looks a good result to me - if the camera can't find much in the way of faults as here that's usually a good indication that it's a pretty good build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Looks great to me. Very clean and crisp build. Is that the Heller/Humbrol/Revell 1/24 kit? Whichever, you've done an excellent job. My only minor nitpick is that the main bodywork on the real thing is fabric covered, and usually a dark matt/satin green. best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s the Airfix 1:12 kit, yeah i downloaded hundreds of pictures before starting the build but i preferred the body colour the same. I had to omit some pieces as the fit was really bad on some parts and the chrome was atrociously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I think you've done a great job. I've just reviewed this very kit here, and I think you've done it plenty of justice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 That looks excellent! All the more if it fought you at every turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Really nice to see a Bentley, nice clean build as well, cap doffed !!! The body finish has been mentioned as looking too glossy, actually a glossy finish would be correct on a period fabric body, almost all cars have been restored using PVC because the original "Rexine" made by ICI in the day was no longer available, now an original machine has been rescued and restored by a Bentley specialist (R C Moss), a remarkable story, see the article below ! https://www.vintagebentleys.com/services/rexine-magazine/ The bottom line is that came glossy or textured, the couple of surviving cars still with original Rexine appear to be glossy, so Ollie30 you are actually 100% correct if you have modelled it as an original car, and cmathewbacon you are 100% correct if it is a restored car !!
